Share this Story

The automotive industry is the technological trendsetter among manufacturing industries. It keeps evolving on fast pace and is a driver of the new era of digitalization. The digitalization helps the automotive industry to turn faster and more efficiently their ideas into successful vehicles.

Digitalization can be easier than it seems – we are here to assist you with the digital transformation.

Holistic approach for the entire value chain

To use digitalization to its full potential it takes a holistic approach that looks at every aspect along the entire value chain. The Digital Enterprise Suite enables manufacturing companies to streamline and digitalize their entire business process, seamlessly integrating suppliers into the mix. They can begin at any point of their value chain: from product design to production planning and on to production engineering and production execution and finally to service. Companies can extend digitalization gradually, depending on their current needs. MindSphere allows analyzing production assets and products as they perform and feed back the insights into the entire value chain for continuous optimization.

The Digital Enterprise Suite offers integrated software and hardware solutions for discrete industries to seamlessly integrate and digitalize the entire value chain, including suppliers. The result of this is a perfect digital copy of the value chain – the Digital Twin. Simulation, testing, and optimization in a completely virtual environment allows for reduced time to market, increased flexibility, quality and efficiency.
